VAX Platinum Power Max Pet-Design Carpet Cleaner - CDCW-PMXP vs SpotWash Home Duo Carpet Cleaner - CDSW-MPXP — Comparison

The Platinum Power Max Pet-Design, sold as the VAX Platinum Power Max Pet-Design Carpet Cleaner CDCW-PMXP, costs £159 and sits as the pet-focused full carpet cleaner. The VAX SpotWash Home Duo Carpet Cleaner CDSW-MPXP is £109, making it the lower-cost compact cleaner for quick, localised mess rather than full carpet restoration.

Platinum Power Max Pet-Design brings an XL brush and 7 SpinScrub brushes, quick dry time, Auto-Mix Technology, a pre-treatment wand, stain targeting, odour elimination and deep clean capability. SpotWash Home Duo has a different brief, with versatile spot cleaning, multi-surface use, an extra wide 2-in-1 wash tool, crevice tool, messy clean up tool and compact storage-friendly design.

The Pet-Design model suits homes with dogs, cats, muddy traffic and larger carpeted areas, because its brush system and pre-treatment wand are better prepared for embedded dirt and odours. It is £50 more than SpotWash, but better for planned deep cleans. SpotWash Home Duo is the smarter choice for smaller homes, renters or quick clean-ups on carpets, sofas, stairs and car seats. It is easier to store, though less comprehensive for full-room pet cleaning.

Bottom line: choose Platinum Power Max Pet-Design if you need a pet-focused deep cleaner with 7 SpinScrub brushes and pre-treatment / opt for SpotWash Home Duo if you want a compact, cheaper spot cleaner for everyday spills.
